The hotel offers good-sized rooms with all the necessary amenities, including a balcony, just a short walk from the bustling area of shops and restaurants. While the rooms can become hot in the daytime, the lounge area and balcony with table and chairs are amazing features. The location is convenient, especially for those who wish to explore the city on foot, near the Trindade train station. The dining experience, while generally adequate, has room for improvement, particularly in offering better quality juice options. Overall, the hotel provides facilities for various services like room service, car hire, dry cleaning, laundry, welcome drinks, and tour/ticket assistance.

The hotel had a small but nice room with a shower in the small bathroom. It was very clean with all the amenities required for a great stay. The balcony, although tucked in a corner, offered a great view of the beautiful streets of Porto. The only downside was the lack of toiletries apart from an all-in-one shampoo/shower gel and a soap.

The hotel has a nice view overlooking the river, but only one bathroom for two rooms, which was a bit inconvenient for our family stay. The room with a sofabed for our son was a nice touch, but the cold temperature was a drawback.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was very comfortable and clean, with a great view from the balcony overlooking the beautiful streets of Porto. However, the room size was a bit small and the bathroom felt cramped for the price. The service was top-notch, with professional staff although not overly friendly.

Upon arrival, my room wasn't ready, which was a bit inconvenient, but once settled, it was clean and had everything I needed. However, it was a bit warm, and the air conditioning was a tad noisy for those who enjoy peace and quiet. The service staff were very helpful and accommodating, even when I inquired about local jazz clubs. They quickly resolved any issues, showing they truly care about guest satisfaction and even offered compensation which was a nice touch. The location was overall good, near main shopping areas and restaurants, although it felt a bit far out to walk around and the presence of many bus tourist groups was noticeable. The dining experience was satisfying, with an excellent buffet spread, although it could get quite busy depending on the time. As for facilities, the hotel provided a range of amenities making the stay pleasant.
